Today is celebrated for many as the Hindu holiday, Diwali.
It is said to be a holiday that celebrates the triumph of good over evil.
This theme of good over evil is always an exciting theme. We love to see this in movies (for adults) and kids storybooks alike. Especially when it’s the story of the underdog coming out on top. Something about the combination of the two is enthralling and captivating.
Have you ever felt like the underdog?
As the “underdog”, we can sometimes feel unwanted, unaccepted, even misunderstood.
If you’ve ever felt like this, then you have been in the underdog position. While sometimes we don’t always think about doing the good thing in this place, we do think about what it would be like to get out on top or triumph. Perhaps even characterizing our situation as one of good over evil. Making us “good” and those on the other side evil.
Let Your light shine.
In truth, we don’t need an iconic victory to not feel like the underdog anymore. In truth, we can use this place, as the underdog, and shine a single light. It may not be a whole “Festival of Lights”. But it’s the only light that matters in our situation.
What is that light for you?
